TL;DR: Summary for Brand Owners
Choosing a jewelry manufacturer in 2025 requires more than just looking at price. Focus on Ethical Standards (Sedex), Technical Precision (CAD/3D), and a clear understanding of OEM vs ODM models. Finkel Jewelry provides end-to-end consulting and production, ensuring material purity (92.5%+ silver) and master-level stone setting for global luxury brands.
1 A Process Beyond Casting Metal
Crafting a single piece of jewelry at Finkel Jewelry is a blend of advanced science and fine art:
CAD & 3D Prototyping
Computer-aided design ensures micron-level precision and allows for perfect structural symmetry before production.
Lost-Wax Casting
An ancient technique evolved through modern Japanese and German machinery to ensure a porosity-free finish.
Master Stone Setting
Expert artisans perform meticulous hand-setting, from classic Prong settings to intricate Pavé work.
2 The Global Standard: Sedex Green
Beauty alone is no longer enough. The global market now prioritizes “Ethical Manufacturing.”
Leading factories must hold certifications like Sedex, verifying fair labor practices and environmental responsibility. This certification adds immense value to your brand when expanding into USA and EU markets.
Why Ethical Sourcing Matters

- Protects your brand from legal risks
